How hard is that, I am just trying to prep the car for the track. I need to know what I should buy in advance, thanks

Should take an experienced person around an hour to an hour and a half

If your not experienced with that sort of thing I would allot like 3-4 hrs.

Yikes, I guess I will just keep it as a spare part rather than install it when I don't really need it

hmm ... its not that hard

You just need to remove the airbox and you should see them both, but to remove the bottom one you should remove the undertray.

For the first time it could be a bitch tho --- I used all my force and ... I still had stock radiator that time and I broke the plastic part -_- (Upper hose)

After I learned my lesson I just twist/move the bottom one around and it came out really fast.

Just to update with better info. If the car is a few years or older then likely you're going to need a flat head screw driver to wedge between the hose and the pipe to get the hose loose enough to work by rotating and get it to literally come off. First time experienced or not working on the hose will always be a bitch because of the force and effort needed to get a corroded hose off. Get some hose pinch-off pliers to save you the trouble of having fluid leaking all over the place or having to drain the entire system unless that was your original intention.

Gee....
Your replacing it.

Use a knife and cut it. You'll never break the radiator mount that way.

/\ lol...yep Razz....just cut the bloody thing with a good Box knife, remove the clamp away first, cut hose and peel back, catch the coolant too.
